 Relation between full load torque and
maximum torque
Let sf be the slip corresponding to full-load
torque, then

Dividing both the numerator and the

denominator by , we get:

Example (1)
A 3-phase, 400/200-V, Y-Y connected wound-
rotor induction motor has 0.06Ω rotor
resistance and 0.3 Ω standstill reactance per
phase. Find the additional resistance required
in the rotor circuit to make the starting torque
equal to the maximum torque of the motor.

Example(2)
A 12-pole, 3-phase, 600-V, 50-Hz, star-
connected, induction motor has rotor
resistance and stand-still reactance of 0.03 and
0.5 ohm per phase respectively. Calculate:
(a) Speed of maximum torque. (b) ratio of
full-load torque to maximum torque, if the
full-load speed is 495 rpm.
Solution

For R2 = 0.03 and X2 = 0.5 ohm, the slip for

maximum torque is related as :

(a) Corresponding speed
N=500 (1 – 0.06) = 470 rpm
(b) Full-load speed = 495 rpm, slip s = 0.01, at full
load.

Example (3)
A 3-phase induction motor having a 6-pole,
star-connected stator winding runs on 240-V,
50-Hz supply. The rotor resistance and
standstill reactance are 0.12 ohm and 0.85
ohm per phase. The ratio of stator to rotor
turns is 1.8. Full load slip is 4%.
Calculate the developed torque at full load,
maximum torque and speed at maximum
torque.

Also maximum torque can be calculated from
this equation:
